had mine removed after a few months as I had constant swelling in my hands. Also never got to grips with not knowing when I would bleed. but have friends who have been using it for years and love it.

I had the Mirena coil in for 3yrs just after I had my baby, in this time I put on loads of weight 3 stone in fact, my hands and boobs were constantly swollen and aches and pain all over was very emotional and angry. I never put it down to the coil just thought it was problems after having my second child at 38yrs old. I was looking on web one night and came across a web site about mirena coil and was shocked as all the symptoms I had were related to the coil. Was due my smear test so had coil removed at same time and went back to normal coil. The only plus thing I found about mirena coil is had no periods for most of time I was on it. Within weeks of the change hands and boob swelling disappeared, feel alot better in myself and am gradually losing the weight I gained, so for me the mirena coil was a no no but I do know people who have had no problems.

i never had any problems with the mirena coil but if you still bleed try try the pill on injection it cut out periods for me like the coil had done only prob is remember every 12 weeks to get another one.
